Chapter 42 Thorough investigation
As soon as the words were said in the book, Thirteen Niang was shocked.
She looked at Wangshu, shocked without any concealment, blurted out, "Poisoned? How could it be?"
Ling Hua didn't say anything, and signaled to look at the book and talked.
Wang Shu said, "This poison is called death period, it is colorless and tasteless. If it is touched by someone, it will be difficult for the Daluo Golden Immortal to save it. If it is touched by flowers, it will naturally not be able to withstand its toxicity and wither and die."
Thirteen Niang stood up, "Mr. Wangshu is sure that he has not made a mistake? I am the only one who cares about this flower and Cai'er, and I have taken care of it very carefully. It has been four or five years. There has been no one in Yanzhilou these two days. If someone wants to harm me, I should be poisoned. How could I poison this purple peony?"
"There are eight or nine points below to be sure." Wangshu looked at Thirteen Niang. Although he said it was eight or nine points, his tone was firm. "Because I was just learning to identify poisons and distinguish poisons, the first thing I learned was the death period. The miracle doctor who taught me told me that if I could distinguish the ten poisons that are highly toxic in the world through various forms in a cup of tea, I would have achieved success in learning. I didn't have talent and learned for many years, and I would have gained some. The ten poisons in the world, including the death period. The miracle doctor once used ten poisons to animals and plants, and let them distinguish them."
The implication is that by chance, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has learned it is very certain.
Thirteen Niang immediately shouted to the outside world, "Cai'er!"
Cai'er heard the shouts, "Thirteenth Lady, are you calling me?"
Thirteen Niang stared at Cai'er, "Who has touched me this purple peony these two days?"
Cai'er was stunned, "You are me and Thirteen Niang, you? This purple peony has been kept in your exclusive flower room. No one dares to touch except you and me. You told me that you would not allow others to touch it."
Thirteen Niang looked at her and asked sternly, "Are you sure no one has touched her? Or has no one entered the flower room?"
Seeing Shisan Niang's harsh expression, Cai'er stuttered suddenly, "Okay, no one should have touched him, and no one had entered the flower room, right?"
Thirteen Niang was angry, "What does it mean? I ask you if you are sure?"
Cai'er suddenly changed her face and hurriedly explained, "Thirteen Niang, since the purple peony blossomed, you have cared so hard that you explained that the entire Yanzhi Building, except you and my servant, is not allowed to touch this purple peony, nor is it allowed to enter and exit your exclusive flower house at will. However, every month, there are gardeners who specially send flower fertilizer or change soil to come here once or twice. Nothing has happened in the past few years. If you ask this, I dare not be very sure..."
Thirteen Niang said with a tense face, "Young Master Wangshu just found out that this purple peony was poisoned, and it was a very domineering and extremely poison called death. If a person is contaminated, it will be difficult for the Golden Immortal of the Daluo. If the flowers are contaminated, it will wither."
Cai'er turned pale and said, "What, how could she be poisoned? Can flowers and flowers also be poisoned?"
Wangshu said affirmatively, "As long as it is highly poisonous, the flowers are watered or contaminated with the roots of the flowers, they will also be poisoned. This pot of purple peony should have been watered and died in the water."
Thirteen Niang immediately turned to Wangshu, "Yes, isn't it the one who harmed me, I misused it to water the flowers?"
"Have Thirteen Niang watered the flowers in the past two days?" Wangshu asked.
Thirteen nodded in recollection, "Last night, I got up, I was thirsty and wanted to drink water. There happened to be water on the table. I wanted to drink it, but I thought I was about to have a menstrual period. A few days ago, the doctor told me not to drink herbal tea, so I used it to water the flowers. I was sleeping in a daze at that time..."
She opened her eyes wide, looked at Zimudan, and then looked at Cai'er, "Why was Zimudan in my room yesterday? Not in the flower room?"
Cai'er quickly said, "Shi Sanniang, have you forgotten? That day, the little marquis of Yan came to our Rouge Building. Before they went upstairs, they said they didn't like the smell of powder and turned around. After the officials reported to you, you told the girls in the building not to use rouge before the little marquis of Yan left Caojun. They thought that if the little marquis of Yan came to listen to the song next time. Later, after the girls did not use powder, the whole Rouge Building still had a strong fragrance, this purple plant
The fragrance of peony is made of mostly floral fragrance, and the fragrance of purple peony is too similar to the fragrance of powder, which makes you worry at once. Not only is this rare purple peony rare, but it has been kept for so long, but it cannot be disposed of at will. Therefore, you asked me to move it to your house first, because your boudoir is located in the embroidery building in the backyard of Rouge Building. If you close the doors and windows, the front building should not smell the fragrance, so you moved it to your room."
Thirteen Niang rubbed her eyebrows, "I remembered it, that's how it is."
She turned her head and said to Ling Hua with a white face, "I remember it, it's that cup of tea. I thought it was cold and didn't drink it. I poured it into the flower pot. I kept using tea to water the flowers. I never thought that such a thing would happen. I was doing it casually. Someone must be trying to harm me."
Ling Hua corrected his expression, "Who is serving the tea in your room?"
Cai'er said with a white face, "It's a slave."
She was almost crying, "I have been serving Thirteen Niang in close proximity, making beds, folding quilts, serving tea and water, etc., all I do, but I have been with Thirteen Niang since I was a child. I will never harm Thirteen Niang. Thirteen Niang is the steward and the steward is the steward."
Thirteen Niang immediately said, "I believe Cai'er won't harm me."
Ling Hua looked at the two of them, "Can someone enter your room these two days?"
Thirteen Niang recalled, "The officials came here, and the brothel in this building has come, but they probably won't hurt me either. They rely on me. I am the owner of this Rouge Building. What's the benefit of them harming me?"
Ling Hua asked, "Since I know about this, does Thirteen Niang want me to order someone to investigate the case? Or do you investigate it yourself? Those who can enter Yanzhi Building and attack you in the building must be very familiar with Yanzhi Building. No matter what the reason is, maybe they are your own people in your building."
Thirteen Niang sat down slowly, looking angry, as if she was struggling. After a moment, she seemed to make up her mind and said to Ling Hua seriously, "Please check the person at the helm. If you can commit the crime like this without knowing the devil, I am afraid I will not be able to find out."
Ling Hua was a little surprised that Thirteen Niang was not afraid to investigate her and her territory. If you ask her to investigate, she would investigate her and the people around her. Moreover, it was related to her poisoning. She also had to cooperate. In this way, if you investigate deeply, it would be equivalent to having no secrets.
I asked her to investigate so frankly, isn't she really not a big problem?
No matter what, she is going to check it out.
Ling Hua nodded and ordered Wang Shu to "Let Xiyu bring people in to check Yanzhi Building, from the inside out, from the top to the bottom, everyone, every inch, if there is any doubt, severely questioning, it will be necessary to help Shisanniang find out the person who murdered her."
Wangshu should have shouted to the outside, and a person appeared. Wangshu explained Ling Hua's words. The man immediately turned around and reported to the drizzle guarding outside.
After Wangshu finished explaining, he said to Cai'er, "This girl should cooperate with her to investigate thoroughly!"
Cai'er nodded with tears in her face and obediently left the door.
Thirteen Niang smiled bitterly, looked at her purple peony and said to Ling Hua, "I really didn't expect that this purple peony was highly poisoned. I said why did it wither suddenly?"
She looked at Wangshu, "Mr. Wangshu, is this purple peony still saved?"
Wangshu shook his head, "It's no help."
Thirteen Niang looked very sad all of a sudden, "This purple peony has been with me for several years, but I didn't expect that it would be damaged by the poisonous tea because I negligently poured it on."
Ling Hua also looked at this purple peony and felt that it was a pity for this purple peony. This variety is indeed hard to find in the world. "If you raise it for a few years, it will be a blessing for you, which is also a blessing."
Thirteen Niang smiled bitterly again and reluctantly cheered up and said to Ling Hua, "Today, the helm commander came to drink and listen to the song is a leisurely thing, but I didn't expect to find out that such a thing happened here. If the helm commander does not dislike it and affects his mood, the little woman will talk about the helm commander?"
Ling Hua shook his head, "No, you don't feel in the mood, so let it go today."
She stood up and said to Thiran Niang, "I will keep the drizzle with you. Just cooperate with him to thoroughly investigate this matter. After all, matters that concern human life is a major matter, and you must not let it go easily."
Thirteen Niang immediately asked, "Did you leave when you take the helm? It's still early, and you haven't had enough food yet..."
Ling Hua smiled, "I'm not in a bad mood anymore, why not come back another day."
Thirteen Niang showed a reluctant look, "The helm made it difficult to get back..."
Ling Hua said in a gentle voice, "I have to stay in Caojun for many days and have many things to deal with. I will not return to Beijing for a while, so it will be the same if I come back another day."
She paused, "Can I send someone to protect you?"
Thirteen Niang shook her head, "There is a young master Xiyu who is in charge of the helm and leads people to investigate thoroughly. No matter how brave the thief is, he should not dare to show off my strength. Don't worry, the helm and the helm."
Ling Hua nodded, "Yes."
Thirteenth Lady personally sent Ling to draw her room. The rain was very light outside, and she was hitting a star on the umbrella. Because the drizzle brought people to intervene, the Yanzhi Building, which had been quiet in the rain, was instantly noisy.
Wangshu followed Ling Hua without leaving until he bid farewell to Thirteen Niang, left Yanzhi Building, and got on the carriage, but never left a single step.
